Our Portfolio history, in industries such as Outdoor Products and Specialty Foods, demonstrates our strategy: direct investments of our private capital in established companies at the smaller end of the middle market – a strategy we call "just under the radar" investing.

Founded in 1990, TGV Partners has sponsored transactions ranging from LBOs and leveraged recapitalizations to traditional growth capital investments. Our track record encompasses over $150 million of private equity investments in transactions valued at over $400 million.

The cornerstone of our strategy is to partner with professional management teams who are aligned with us as equity owners in their businesses. We try to invest exclusively in situations where, by virtue of our experience and understanding, we have a clear opportunity to add value as active owners. TGV Partners operates as a private investment firm and is not constricted by the limited-life structure of the typical investment fund. Together with our management partners, we have the freedom to concentrate on building long-term strategic value in our businesses.

Today, TGV pursues investments in traditional branded manufacturing & service businesses. We look for established companies, typically with sales under $100 million and strong operating performance, which are proven leaders in their industry segments, yet below the middle-market radar screen – an under-served market where our capital and strategic leadership help make a difference.
